Happy 2 Months to Eamon!

I know everyone thinks I abandoned this site but nope just haven't found the time to update like I used to. Plus I am no longer the photographer in the family so getting pictures has been more difficult than before but that's ok I'll backtrack as much as I can!

So today is an exciting day - Eamon is 2 months old and last night he celebrated early by sleeping from 9:30 - 6:15 am !! AND the girls slept in their beds all night too - glory halleluia! Of course I was up at 4 to see what Eamon was doing and then couldn't get back to sleep so everyone slept great except me but that's ok.

Grammy & Aunt Ashley came over today to visit and Grammy was able to get Eamon to sleep on her shoulder and now he is happily snoozing in the pack & play - another great feat! He is smiling alot more when he seems someone familiar and blowing lots of bubbles (which may just be his reflux). He's still cranky but at least its getting better. His next drs appt is Friday so we'll see how much the little guy weighs then.

The other exciting thing today is Caileigh's last day before she starts kindergarten! Orientation went well on Friday and she met her teacher and the boy (Joshua) that will be sitting next to her at her table. I think she'll really like it & looking forward to getting all the nervous anxiety out of the way.

Now Keira would go to school in a minute without any problem but she is still back at Mt Nazareth. She'll be home with me on Mondays, Aunt Molly on Tuesdays & GramaGrampa (her name) on Thursdays. Just her with GramaGrampa so it will be interesting to see her on her own.

I promise to post 2 months pictures & Caileigh's first day this week!

Birthday Party and Celebration Dinner

Today the girls went to a birthday party for Colman - Caileigh's "best friend" from Mt Nazareth. Keira was invited too which was fun for her. Both girls got their first hot wheels cars & they loved them so we may be rethinking what we buy around here! Way back when we were thinking of names for Eamon Caileigh kept saying to name him Colman after a boy in her class but I never met him. Until the summer when she told me to get something from her cubby that Colman left for her & it was a card that said "thinking of you" on the outside and then had a poem inside. "love Colman" (which I have saved in her baby book). Too funny.

When I read what it said to Caileigh she said "well mom we love each other" (what?!) And when we went shopping for his gift she didn't think the spider man toy was enough (at $30 I did) she said "well mom he's my best friend!". Anyway, apparently Colman is quite smitten with Caileigh b/c he kept asking his mom if I called to rsvp for his party and when Caileigh arrived he went yelling to his mom & dad "Caileigh's here!". Very cute. Caileigh also was talking to his dad about kindergarten for awhile so I think she got the ok from his parents ;) He's actually a very cute boy and seemed very sweet - too bad he is still at Mt Nazareth & too young (5)!

Then we went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen (Caileigh's choice) to celebrate her going to kindergarten and then ice cream with the Ryan's for dessert. Aside from the tantrums from #1 & 2 it was a nice day!

Kindergarten Orientation Day!

This morning Caileigh had orientation & met her teacher Mrs Sobien and dropped off all her supplies. She met a boy that will sit next to her at her table and his mom went to school with John! Small world (but they are "facebook friends" so not so small).
The parents had all kinds of papers to fill out (ugh) and then we were done. Caileigh saw some of her cousins so she was happy about that.

Off to the pool at night for one of the last summer nights. It was quite cold but Caileigh didn't mind of course swimming with all her friends. She did quite a few twists off the diving board and splits while Keira swam with the noodle. Eamon slept and then just watched.
